25.01.2022 www.ropedfibreart.com.au This school holidays, the Creative Kids workshops are BACK! I'm so very excited for these as I have missed hosting my creative kids workshops during the pandemic and I'm so grateful that I am able to bring them back this school holidays!... Hosting a macrame and a weaving workshops to keep your creative ones busy. In each workshop, they'll learn the techniques and skills to complete a macrame wall hanging or tapestry to hang in your home or for a gift to a loved one. Details: Workshop #1: Macrame Wall Hanging Monday 28th September 2020 Time: 9:30am Where: Wattlebird - 14 Russle St, Evandale What: We will be creating a gorgeous macrame wall hanging. Perfect size to hang in your creative ones bedroom. There will be colour rope options for this workshop on the day. Workshop #2: Tapestry Weaving Monday 28th September 2020 Time: 1:30pm Where: Wattlebird - 14 Russle St, Evandale What: Creating a one of a kind tapestry wall hanging. There will be endless options of fibres and materials to use in the workshop with guidance from myself (Donna) in patterns and designs. There will be examples and instructions for the creatives to follow if they wish to follow a design or go freestyle. What to bring: Comfortable shoes and clothing are a must for the macrame wall hanging workshop as we are standing for the duration and lifting our arms to tie the knots. We will be seated for the tapestry wall hanging workshop. Please bring your own drinks for refreshments as these are not supplied during the creative kids workshops. There is a limited number of spots for the workshop to keep class sizes small so I can give each child the assistance they need for the duration of each workshop.
24.01.2022 Are you a beginner or done a bit of Macramè before? Can you follow instructions written or photograph? I’m calling for some new pattern testers for new kits. No experience required and no age limits either! Comment below if you’d love to be a pattern tester, and the best part is there’s not cost, you get all the supplies and you get to keep what ever you make There are a limited number of testers needed and a variety of patterns and kits which will be allocated to you. You... must return feedback on the pattern and kits along with photographs of your work as you go. I’ll be on hand for any questions and help along the way. Available Australia wide so comment below, let me know if you’ve done any Macramè before as well as your age and tag any friends you think would love to be a tester as well
24.01.2022 || NEW STOCKIST || this gorgeous set of double brim beanies is heading off to @tribecollectivestasmania // such gorgeous tones and colours!
24.01.2022 Black on black with the biggest wool pompom ever! So many combos for colours and pom-poms that I love when I get asked to do one I’ve yet to do! Love this one and will be timeless as well
23.01.2022 If I were a colour palette this would be me. Playing around with some new keyring designs today and realising it’s been yonks since I’ve played with Macramè rope and string since I’ve been knitting like a crazy person getting beanies out to al your favourite brick and mortar stores. A dreary autumn day giving me this colour palette dug deep into the macramè archives find the perfect grey for this keyring. You’d be amazed but much rope you have when you’re trying to find the perfect colour!
22.01.2022 Who’s little creatives are coming to the school holiday workshops? A little throwback to my last creative kids workshop this time last year with this group of gorgeous gals learning to make their wall hangings. These girls had never made a wall hanging or done Macramè before and here they all are standing with such beautiful wall hangings! I will have colour options available again this workshop and will be available on the day to choose from
22.01.2022 We made selfies a thing today for workshops and I’m not made about it My wonderful 4 for weaving this afternoon. All put their own twist on their designs with choices of different fibres and they all look so good. Look at those faces! Today was the first time doing a weaving class and was a lot of fun for me and the attendees! 4/5 workshops and one tomorrow. The most consecutive workshops I’ve done and it’s been an absolute blast, it’s definitely the best part of my job!
21.01.2022 Current work station the weather has turned chilly again and beanies are back in motion, don’t blame you though with the weather like today also adding gorgeous new cork tags to existing stock which I’m still in love with
20.01.2022 more beaded stars being made. Thank you for all your enquires and orders already
19.01.2022 Creative kids Macramè wallhanging workshop done and how great are their finished pieces! A beautiful day here in Evandale so we couldn’t resist a photo outside. 6 wonderful creatives in the workshops and 6 wonderful wall hangings to reflect their time today! A beautiful piece to hang in their homes
18.01.2022 Made this sweet medium sized tray for my husbands bedside table. Somewhere he can just drop all his daily items when he returns home from work. A sweet little item from me to him For those attending the basket making workshops, you also will learn the skills to make one of these. You can build up the walls so it’s a true basket or keep them low like I have for a tray style. Handles are an easy addition as well! The options are endless with colour combos and style of basket you’d like to make! Pretty excited to be teaching this workshop as it’s my first workshop of its style - we will be sitting down no sore feet at this workshop! There is 1 ticket left for the 2nd workshop on the Saturday afternoon || Saturday 26th Sept at 3:30pm @wattlebird - any further details are available on the website
17.01.2022 These gorgeous keychains have made their way to a couple local shops and are already being snapped up! You can find a selection of colour combos at @wattlebird and @alliehillmakeupartist - have these beauty bring a little bit of shine to your daily life! Great for bags, keys, purses and luggage - there’d be no mistaking yours then
13.01.2022 SALE || BUY 2 GET 3RD FREE || online only! Free shipping available! 8 colours to choose from and the perfect stocking stuffers for this Christmas
13.01.2022 This year has been a roller coaster for everyone because, well, 2020! It’s been a year of reassessing of where I want to see myself go. This year was always going to be a challenge for me, having Harrison in Jan, doing the whole, balancing life, business and a newborn all over again. Sure, it’s been tough but I’ve always been encouraged by many people around me to keep going! Some of those people I hardly know and have only met once. Those words, comments on posts, likes and ...shares mean so much to someone like myself who struggles to see the beauty in my own work from time to time. I find myself creating lots of stuff and then doubt that it’s social media worthy because in my eyes it’s not perfect, but each time I post something new, that comment from another business, someone who has followed or purchased from me before or a new follower always helps me move forward with posting more of my work! I’m very self conscious of my work that it doesn’t stand up to the quality of others in the same industry, but that’s me being picky and hard on myself. So here’s to the remainder of 2020. To post more of my work, to share what I’m currently working on and open my work to the world. I have a studio full of half finished project, projects I didn’t think are good enough, so here’s to sharing them all with you and turning those negative voices in my head
11.01.2022 UPDATE: Form is now closed. Thank you to all who put down their details.

If you have any questions please send me a message, I’m happy to answer them for you! I am after a variety of ages and skill level for this round of testing https://forms.gle/PGBbUzH2HUmJpMZ29
08.01.2022 When friends beanie together, they stay together! This adult set off to its forever home this morning! Still love this colour and it’s still my favourite to knit up! It’s warm, soft and squishy everything you want in a beanie
08.01.2022 Success when you design a workshop, you never know if it will be a flop or success and this workshop was one of them. So many thoughts run through my mind will it be too hard?, will anyone finish?, what if no one gets it, what if they all hate it! Something that doesn’t take me long to make or understand doesn’t necessarily means everyone else will understand it or get it but I am SO proud and SO impressed with the 13 ladies last night who not only made a basket ea...ch, almost every single person completed theirs before leaving and those who didn’t finish, weren’t too far off. As a workshop designer, there’s so many things that can go wrong, and it’s through trial and error that I can predict these things and prepare for them. It’s not as easy as throwing a crochet hook and some yarn and saying there you go, make a basket. Everyone learns differently and understands things in their own unique way and I love teaching and seeing the proud look on everyone’s face when they get it. This is why I do what I do! That’s why I’m crazy to to have 5 workshops in 5 days. Today I will be teaching my second basket making workshop @wattlebird and I’m excited to see what this group of ladies create. What size they make and colours they choose
08.01.2022 FINAL DAYS - of our Mother’s Day Pop-Up Shop! Haven’t manage to make it into the Tassie makers market pop-up yet? You have two days left Saturday till 5pm... and Sunday both till 4pm Don’t miss out - we won’t be back till October!
08.01.2022 You may have noticed a decrease is posts lately, not because I’m not working but because I’m working in the background! Over the coming days/ weeks/ months you’ll start to notice that @ropedfibreart taking a different direction in business. This is all good things, don’t worry! I am shuffling and doing more of what I love and less of what makes me feel like I’m doing a chore. I started @ropedfibreart for the love of fibre arts and those loves and passions have grown into ...other avenues of fibre arts along the way. One thing that will be staying is workshops because I LOVE workshops and LOVE teaching, so take that as a hint I’m investing in what makes me happy, because at the end of the day that’s what life is all about. The new direction will take time as I still have outstanding orders and I will continue to share those things but time will show the new direction. New things. New style. New Roped Fibre Art!

07.01.2022 So much is happening. So much to be done. So many workshops just this weekend as well. This Friday and Saturday is the first basket making workshops and then Monday I welcome back our Creative Kids workshops which I’m so pleased as I have missed teaching and working with the children. Following that, I have a private workshop on Tuesday! That’s 5 workshops in 5 days! So when I say I’m busy working behind the scenes, you better believe it! Posting here on social media has ...been on the back burner, mainly because there’s nothing I can really show you at the moment, but I’m getting there.. trust me! If you’ve had a jump on the website, you’ll notice it’s had a freshen up, old products gone and looking pretty empty, but that won’t be for long. I hope (fingers crossed ) to upload a new range by the end of this week which I’m super excited about! I’ll also be giving some sneaky discount codes for the release, so definitely keep your eyes peeled for that!! www.ropedfibreart.com.au

Another fun fact, workshops will now be available on a Saturday during winter and if you’ve made it this far reading this post, then let me congratulate you by letting you in on a secret. Workshops will also be available in Hobart thanks to @tassiemakersmarket and @marniiejewellery who I’m working with to make this happen. So tag all your southern friends because I get requests to host them in Hobart and it’s finally happening
03.01.2022 I have the best job, teaching wonderful people a variety of different fibre arts! Yesterday’s workshop was such a blast and another 11 ladies starting and completing their very own crochet baskets! A fabulous way to spend the afternoon and 2/5 workshops completed for me! Today’s a rest day with 2 workshops tomorrow and a private workshop Tuesday! There is still a couple ticklers left for tomorrow’s afternoon workshop if you needed some afternoon entertainment for your creative ones
